As Jettster said, 2 note per string patterns are going to be awkward because of string changes. Plus, 2 notes per string is just inefficient - if you listen watch someone that makes pentatonic scales sound super fluid (Eric Johnson comes to mind) he employs a mixture of 2 nps and 3 nps patterns with position shifts (slides) that also allow him to play 3 nps. Oddly enough, we all learn/are taught the same old box patterns even though we know its probably not the best way to go about it. Here is a different way to play that same G minor pentatonic scale.... and be far more fluid. Once you get used to the stretches on the low strings, it starts to get easy to find licks and patterns like in the second example I wrote out
